Welcome, 2026 ✨
Looking back, this past year has been one of challenge, growth, finding strength in the eye of the storm. ⛈️
The AsvaNara Academy has undergone a process of transformation. Now it stands strong and dynamic, full of vitality and in alignment with its new leaders.
Thank you kindly to every person who was involved this 2025. Your support is appreciated every step of the way 💗
To a new year, new dreams, new adventures! ⭐️
This quiet winter time invites us to slow down a little.
To pause.
And to notice again what truly matters. 🤍
As the year gently comes to an end,
what we feel most is gratitude.
For our horses.
For this place.
And for all of you who walk this path with us.
We are spending the holidays in a very simple way –
outdoors, in the forest,
close to our thick-skinned, wise herd.
We speak less, listen more,
and allow ourselves to be reminded
of what real connection means.
We wish you a beautiful, peaceful winter time,
with warmth in your heart
and small, quiet moments that stay.
From our hearts,
we wish you a very Merry Christmas
and a gentle, joyful New Year. ✨
We and the horses are thinking of you.
With love,
Nell, Leni & the AsvaNara Team 🐎🤍
Some teachers enter your life only when you are truly ready.
After losing our Natural Horsemanship mentor, we didn’t look for a replacement.
We stayed with the question.
With the gap.
And with the horses.
That path led us somewhere unexpected — to Romania.
And to Birger Gieseke.
What touched us immediately was his clarity.
His precision.
His uncompromising devotion to true communication with the horse.
Every movement matters. Every signal speaks.
From decades of experience, Birger shaped the EQS – Equine Quality System:
a way to truly listen, understand, and respond — so trust can begin to flow.
This mentorship changed our work profoundly.
It was the step from good to excellent.
✨ We’ve shared the full story on our blog — link in the first comment.
May this fourth Sunday of Advent remind you
of what truly matters: presence, trust,
and the art of listening deeply. 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
With love,
Nell & Leni

I deeply believe that every human can relearn the language of horses.
It lives within us.
It is ancient.
It is real.
Since I was two years old, horses have been my companions.
I grew up on their backs, in their silence, in their presence.
I learned the foundations of Natural Horsemanship in kindergarten,
but the real wisdom always came from connection, not technique.
Many summers at AsvaNara shaped me,
and the years as Edwin’s apprentice were a gift
that changed my life forever.
He showed me that every horse — especially the so-called “problem horses” —
is simply waiting to be seen.
Understood.
Felt.
Today I have the honor of continuing this path side by side with Nell.
Her clarity, her connection to nature,
and the depth with which she listens to horses
inspire me every single day.
We share the same vision:
bringing more naturalness, more love and more freedom into the horse world.
Reminding people, not correcting them.
Horses teach us presence.
They teach us leadership without force.
They teach us who we truly are.
AsvaNara has become my home —
a place of peace, openness and truth.
A place where humans and horses can truly meet.
And I’m so excited for the year ahead with all of you —
for the moments, the learning, the growth,
and the magic of our herd. ✨🐎
What an unforgettable summer season 2025 has woven itself into our lives.
So many souls, so many horses… so many moments where softness, courage and connection met in the most unexpected ways. 🐎
From the playful spark of the Mannheim Kids Camp,
to the powerful teachings of EQS meets AsvaNara with Birger,
to the breathtaking freedom we experienced in Module III – Liberty…
From the quiet inner journeys of Seelensprache,
to the deep feminine strength awakened in the Female Leadership Camp,
to the heart-opening intensity of our Horsemanship Training Week…
And finally, the lightness and joy of our Family Camp,
a week that seemed to open a whole new chapter for AsvaNara.🌿
Looking back, our hearts feel wide and full.
Was it the right decision?
This question stayed with me for a long time—
not as doubt, but as a soft wind returning until I finally listened.
I was born in the hills of Tuscany, between wind, oak trees and horses.
I learned the language of the herd long before I learned the language of humans.
Harmony with horses wasn’t something I studied—
it was simply my way of being.
When my father passed away in 2022, my world became very still.
And in that silence, the question returned:
Should I continue this path?
Or was it time to choose my own?
The answer didn’t come in a single moment.
It grew.
Like a seed finding light.
Like a horse slowly trusting again.
And one day, I simply knew:
Yes.
It was the right decision.
Not out of obligation,
but out of love.
Out of truth.
Out of the deep knowing that this path didn’t begin with me—
but it continues through me.
Today I lead AsvaNara with the same values that shaped my childhood:
softness, presence, natural leadership
and the unbreakable bond with horses.
They remain my mirrors,
my teachers,
my companions—
guiding me, and all who come here,
back to who we truly are. ✨🐎
Like everything in life, the AsvaNara herd moves through its cycles. 🌿
This year, a new chapter opened — gentle, beautiful and full of growth.
Ruby, Colorado and Brio took their very first steps into real training, guided only by softness, patience and a clear inner yes. ✨
From “never saddled before” to “riding without a halter”… in just a few days.
We’ve shared their full journey, videos and heartfelt moments on our blog.
